“We know how important a library is to the Salmon Arm community. We are working hard to ensure the branch is fully operational as soon as possible,” says Michal Utko, director of marketing and communications. “Although we don’t expect the renovations to be fully completed by the 14th, the library will re-open as we want to make sure people have access to all the ORL resources.”
